Valve amplification vs Pass labs

Pass is a pretty easy brand to get home trials of in the US.

I'm looking this up right now (unbeknownst to the better half! 😉); thanks!

I'm in the USA, I've had quite a few solid state amps in the past (david hafler, krell, aragon 8008 which I still have in my living room) but I think It would be hard to compare with these Valve Amplification 200's, as a few people I've talked to said the same thing, Thanks for the input. 

Not the same league as Valve Amp 200's but I was a long term tube lover and switched from Rogue Stereo 100 to Pass X250.8.  Still a wonderful midrange but more dynamics, especially for orchestral music.

@neilco Almost a year has passed and just curious if you made a move away from the VAC amps to a solid state one?  I previously had a VAC phi200 and reluctantly made the change due to many factors.  Ultimately I ended up with a Gryphon Diablo 300 that I really enjoy powering my Rockport speakers, but the thought of revisiting VAC again is always there…
